“All of the content undergoes three levels of review by medical experts,” said Farchione. “While we always support the primary care physician as the best health resource, we also know that more than 50 million Americans regularly turn to the Internet for health information, and this number is growing all the time. That is why it is more important than ever, as a valuable partner in our community’s good health, to connect our subscribers to information that is both current and informative.”
